34.18-I know my Mole

In the last mission,

The final four had to sing foreign songs...


Janice is in Room 1. She is singing a German song,  99 Luftballons.


Felix is in Room 2. He is singing an Italian song, 'O Sole Mio.


Gladys is in Room 3. She is singing a Tamil song, Uyire Uyire Vanthu Ennodu.
.


James is in Room 4. He is singing a Latin song, Ave Maria.

And not get caught for knowing nothing about the language they're singing...


Rehman: "Wait, this sounds familiar."

***


Next is Javed Meir. He studied German before and is fluent in it, so he will be looking out for fake Germans.

***


Jennifer: "The last room. Ah, I know this song."



Jennifer: "Is he pausing at the right moments?"


***


Milan: "I am at de end already and I have not caught a single falso! I shall just enter dis room den."

Although there were some false warnings...

Javed: "Let me listen closer...that accent is too fake. I think this is the one."



Gladys: "How do I pronounce this...oh no."



Gladys: "You caught me."
Javed: "I knew it."



"Unfortunately, Javed, you are only allowed to catch whether the one singing actually knows German."
Javed: "You could have told me that earlier."
"It was implied with four singers and four fluent speakers."

***


Milan: "Aha! You are not a native, no?"



James: "This is awkward. Ahem."



James: "No, I am not."



"Unfortunately Milan, you can only catch whether the singer can actually speak Italian, not any other langugage. Thank you for your time and please head back downstairs."

None of the contestants were caught by the language experts...


Rehman: "She is a very bad singer but I think she is likely a native Indian. It is unlikely the first one is the answer."

***


Jennifer: "He is. He appears to know how to sing...I think half are natives and half are not, so this one should be an actual Latin speaker."

***


Milan: "Hmm...quite a good singer, no? I believe dis one can sing Italian."

For once, all 200 points had been earned, giving the pot a boost to 390/1100 points. Yet there isn't much time for celebration because very soon one more will be executed. Who will be the last victim? 


***


James: "Mrs. Delmeer-Gomez, I sincerely think you should be revising instead."
Gladys: "Exercise helps me stay alert."


Janice: "If you can call that exercise."
Gladys: "At least I am of better physical condition than you are, Ms. Ilien."


Felix: "I need to study very hard. I think that everyone who is still here knows who the Mole is."

***


Janice: "Time to add some more stuff into my article. Good thing I brought a thumbdrive to store stuff."


Janice: "But something is still missing. I need something that will pin her onto the wall like Jesus was."


Janice: "Felix, were you looking for me?"


Felix: "As a matter of fact, yes. I want to persuade you to give up the idea of bringing Gladys down."


Janice: "You've got to be kidding me. You have no right to interfere with my plans, especially not since you quit."


Felix: "But it's futile. She can't be stopped. Both sides of the law support her."


Janice: "Then we just need to show both sides that she's playing both sides."
Felix: "I think the police know that but they're closing one eye because they're afraid of her, or they don't want to lose any benefits she provides."
Janice: "I know that. I just need to find something that can convince the police to turn against her."


Felix: "You're so caught up in this. I hope you can move on. I don't want you to neglect this game as a result. That would be a pity."


Janice: "No need to worry about me. I'm still here, aren't I?"


Felix: "I suppose I can't stop you but...just good luck."


Gladys: "It's time to stay current. I wonder what's going on in the world today."

***





For the last time, contestants get to place points on who they think the Mole is. The average amount placed on the Mole will be the final amount added to the pot.

***


Gladys: "I better revise. This quiz is very important."


Janice: "Hey, watch it!"


Janice: "Get out of my way. I need to go take the quiz."
James: "And I'm trying to clean up here."
Janice: "Why are you so relaxed anyway?"
James: "Because I know my Mole."


James: "I've written my letter and sent it via production. I hope she gets it in time and is awake enough to hear it. I...excuse me for a moment...I just can't bear the thought of her leaving just like that. I'm not going to quit for her. That's not like me, and that's not what she would want me to do. But I just hope my guardian can survive long enough for me to bring home the money and glory. There are so many things a piece of paper cannot say."

"Congratulations on making it so far. However, tonight, one last contestant will be executed. Who will it be?"



























































































































































"It's not James Christian Sol."




















































































































































































"It's not Janice Ilien. It's either Gladys Delmeer-Gomez or Felix Kuchappe."








































































































































































































































































"It's not Gladys Delmeer-Gomez."


"Unfortunately, Felix Kuchappe, you are the last to be executed. Please pack your bags and leave."
Felix: "What?"


Felix: "I was so close. It stings a little but at least I left knowing I tried my best. I wasn't fully certain of who it was so perhaps I'm not the best candidate to make it to the finale. It was an enriching experience for me, however, and I don't regret participating. Good luck to the finalists. May the best one win."


Gladys: "He was a mysterious one because he kept to himself mostly. But I am proud to say that Mr. Kuchappe has finally moved on from his past, and I hope he can continue to walk on to a better future."
Janice: "He played a great game despite being totally detached for the first half of the season."
James: "Someone had to go. I am glad it's not me."


"Thank you for joining. We hope to see you again."


"Gladys, Janice, James, congratulations. You are in the final three! The pot currently has 390/1100 points. Remember in the second mission that Felix was voted by the public as most likely to be the Mole? It can now be confirmed that he is not the Mole, so fortunately you don't lose 100 points from your current stash. However, 36 points are removed from the betting table. You can only earn a maximum of 109/200 points now, assuming that the entirety of these points was placed on the Mole."
Janice: "I say we celebrate being in the finale with some dinner."


Janice: "So, here we are. Me against you two."


James: "One of us here has been lying to us the entire time. But two of us knew it early on."


Janice: "Is it you, James?"


James: "Maybe it's you, Janice."


Janice: "Or perhaps it's Gladys. She's been awfully quiet."
Gladys: "I am just thinking about things. But I don't need to partake in such childish festivities. I know who the Mole is. Surely the other finalist does too."

The finale will be coming very soon!
